Girl Band will release their sophomore album, 'The Talkies' on 27 September via Rough Trade. The Irish post-punk group already shared 'Shoulderblades' and 'Going Norway' from the record, now they are back with new track 'Salmon Of Knowledge'. The track is named after a creature from Irish mythology, and was once in the running for the title track before the band settled on 'The Talkies'.

'The Talkies' is the follow-up to the group's 2015 debut 'Holding Hands With Jamie'. The 12-track LP was recorded at Ballintubbert House, a stately home on the outskirts of Dublin, and produced by Girl Band bassist Daniel Fox. Listen to the new track below.

"A post-punk slow-burner muddied with feedback and droning guitars. It's easily the band's most avant-garde effort yet." - Hot Press
